The way you looked at me
I know you felt it too
It wasn’t just a passing thing
The sparks they flew and flew
Your hand on mine
Electric was the air
I started to talk, but then
You began to play with my hair
Your finger traced my mouth
Eager to explore
Your lips found my lips
Oh, and so much more
I’ve been longing for your touch
Your arms around my waist
This was where I was meant to be
I’ve found solace in your embrace
Soren
Fat little fingers
Ten perfect toes
Hair like down
And a cute little nose
A tiny blessing in blue
Today a mom was born
Oh, what a special day
It was the birth of Soren
Now four years later
He plays the drums
He plays with trains and cars
And he runs and he jumps
He is my reason to live
My precious little man
The light of this grandma’s life
No one makes me smile like he can
I posted this last week on the The Community Storyboard.
Tangerine monkeys
Pink frogs
Crimson donkeys
Green dogs
Unicorns run and wallabies leap
A rainbow of colors
Dreams scattered in my sleep
Turquoise elephants
Yellow dolphins
Blue giraffes
Purple penguins
Carousels go round and spin
Giving refuge to
A menagerie of wild things
Thankful
